description
Diagnosis: The members of this species superficially resemble those of L. cochabamba, but in L. boyaca specimens the elytral punctures do not extend to the elytral apex. Description: Size: Length 5.0 mm; width 1.7 mm. Form: As in Fig. 76. Integument: Cranium and thorax dark castaneous; antenna brown; mouthparts mostly testaceous, terminal maxillary and labial palpomeres and mandibles brown; legs mostly brown, proximal region of prothoracic femur testaceous, distal region of profemur, remaining femora and all tibiae brown, tarsi testaceous; pterothorax brown; elytra mostly castaneous, with posthumeral and postmedial angular fasciae. Head: Cranium coarsely punctate, antennal funicular antennomeres subfiliform (Fig. 20), capitulum lax, antennomeres 9 and 10 triangular, antennomere 11 suboval; eyes small, frons wide (EW / FW 14 / 35); last maxillary and labial palpomere subsecuriform (Fig. 54 B). Thorax: Pronotum (Fig. 46) with angular tubercle at sides, disc coarsely punctate, with 7 small knobs; elytral asetiferous punctures substriate, punctures end at posterior 3 / 4 th, epipleural margin not serrate near elytral apex. Abdomen: Aedeagus (Fig. 99), distal region of phallobase slightly lobed, tegmen very reduced, submembranous, phallobasic struts confluent with phallobasic apodeme, phallobasic rod long; phallic plates broad, phallic apex large triangular. Variation: Size: Length 4.0 - 5.0 mm; width 1.5 - 1.7 mm. The paratype has a testaceous elytral apex. Distribution (Fig. 71): This species is known from Colombia and Venezuela. Etymology: The trivial name, boyaca, constitutes a noun in apposition and refers to the type locality.
